When she does something naughty, just give a firm no and them remove her from the room, perhaps to your kitchen and give her five minutes to calm down.

Do this every time and it will start to pay off! Just takes lots of patience and consistency!!

This is the best way. If you shout, you will pass on your anxiety to your dog & actually make it worse. Try to stay calm & remove the dog from the situation.

Yes, a firm deep voice is more effective than shouting!

I have used a bottle with rocks in it to correct some dangerous behaviour of Suki's. When she does it I shake the bottle which startles her and causes her to stop and look at me
